Mine smells like 93 octane with 30% toulene added in... It's 111.4f on my back portch, and 103.1 in the shaded front portch, so it's dang hot here, and my whole garage smells like gas, oil and other "automotive" products... LOL
Generally since I have 80's classic cut to fit 1" sheepskins, my car always smells like a wet dog, or sheep if you swing that way... (You Montana boys know what I'm talking about....)
Fabreze is really amazing stuff. Those of us with kids have found this out the hard way..... Look it's a really winding road... (Then you forget your 1 year old is strapped in the back...) 10 min later, and your clipping apex's with the best of them and you hear this "uff, uck, pleck! sounds... Look over your shoulder and yep, she's barfing on the rear of your passenger seat, and pretty much anywhere else she looks... Lucky for me, I used to carry around a stack of terry cloth towels to dry my car off... they were sacrificed to the barf god that day, and buried along side the road under a few rocks...
Nothing beats baby vomit smell... Except shampoo, lots of fabreze and open windows all the way home in 50f weather...

you know what the smell is from? from when either you or the previous owner had the car and the clutch master cylinder popped leaking fluid on the floor.
It`s the smell of "old toyota" in these cars. Every old toyota that comes into the shop smells like that.
Turbo. Targa. Life.

makes me want to drive my car right now thinking of the smell! Yup... got that classic "bad master cylinder stain" by my clutch pedal.... smells like brake fluid... had a blown head gasket a month ago.. smells like coolant... and it also smells like my front right brake that has started seizing... god I love the smell... all these great smells (plus a little strawberry air freshner that sits in the netting behind my seat)... makes for a great drive... I love the smell... thinking about it makes me want to drive my car!
I had my windows rolled down for 2 years in the garage, and the smell has consumed the Whole garage, even the Golf is starting to smell like the supra, strange!

Had the brake fluid smell in my MK2, but so far, this one has held up fine. (So far...)
That being said, the car does smell like it's dirty, greasey owner... Me.

Ever since I got my supra back from the paint shop its smelled the same. Its been over a year and it still smells like that shop
i was starting to wonder if it was just mine but it's good to know that it's all of them everyone comments on it.
LOL Yea they smell like a combo of shag carpet, leather, burnt fuel and prince's hair care products.
Transmission fluid? Noooo wayyy, it smells like cat pee:nono: horrible... but The Smell is mmmmmmmm:love: :icon_bigg .....Jspec7m88 said:Well, the first day I bought my car, I was alllllllllll over it. I went to a junkyard, got an R154, and wasn't thinking about it when I put it in the back...Drove back home 3 hours and didn't realize fluid had pour'd out EVERYWHERE and I didn't even care because I was so excited.
